Guest guest Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Thanks for the congrats on the food processor. I ordered it a couple days ago to make chopping cabbage for my kimchi/sauerkraut easier (the mini-chopper required a couple cycles). I'm really looking forward to another toy. I had written a book in response to your post, detailing each of the processes I use to make the below foods, but alas, crapped out and lost my post to cyberspace. So, this may be a little lazier an explanation. The oat milk is simply 4 cups water and 1/2 c old-fashioned oats blended in a blender. I keep the oats in mine and just shake the jar before each use, but others may prefer to soak them longer, blend, and strain. My kimchi and sauerkraut I make sans salt. Good combinations include regular cabbage, carrots, jalapeno, garlic, and caraway or red cabbage, beets, habanero, garlic. Dill is another nice option. I just process them, and press firmly into a glass jar, maybe add some water to ensure all the veggies are covered in a " brine, " cover with some large cabbage leaves to hold the fermenting veggies under, and let sit for 3-5 days at room temp. When ready, remove the top leaves (I just found a smaller jar that fits into my mason jar to use as a weight instead), any mold (hasn't happened to me, even without salt), and put in fridge. I'm probably not doing this procedure justice, so I'd highly recommend googling (you know you've made it big when your companies name becomes a verb!) on " sauerkraut instructions " or some such search string. As for the sourdough starter, it was born of the famous Carl's starter, which apparently originated in an 1847 treck across the Oregon Trail!
